Help! There's indie music in my penny arcade!

A little while ago music started playing on my computer, despite there being no media programs open. I narrowed the source down to something open in mozilla, and with further experimenting I figured out it's coming from one of several penny arcade pages. The ones I have open right now (with music playing, mind you) are: "Let the mask hide the tears", "the nature of man", and "the new policy". Each one is open to the news page, not the comic, and i'd experiment and narrow down more, but the music is pretty good and I don't want it to stop or start the loop over again.

If it helps, the songs that have played so far that I've been able to ID are: "to the bone" by The Weepies, "The Death of Us" by The New Amsterdams, and "Black Eye" by Uncle Tupelo EDIT: now it's playing a Tenacious D song about Kyle quitting the band and then coming back. It's the only song that's played that I'd heard previously.

Anyways, now that I've told you all the symptoms, can you tell me what's happening? Has this happened to anyone else? Is it a new feature, or have I just been missing out? Am I crazy? These are all questions that I can't answer myself, and turn to you for help. I've created an account just for this, since I forgot the user/pass of my last account, so please don't let me down!

EDIT AGAIN: It turns out it was "the new policy" page that was playing the music. But I closed it and then reopened it, and the music hasn't come back.

    Install the Pandora sidebar? It could be that.

    nnnope. I thought it was pandora at first, but then I hit play and all that happened was two songs were playing.

    Was it a Ustream video?
